Our Line Up for the New Year

When we first stared homeschooling, we thought we would pick out one curriculum, use it for every subject and then pass it on down the line to the next child. Our learning curve was quick in realizing that each of our children learns a bit differently and responds to different ways that material is presented to them. We have some readers, some listeners, some watchers, and some doers. Do we cater to each child in every subject? That would be a resounding NO, because spelled a little differently this would mean sheer exhaustion and INSANITY for mom. We combine some subjects we are doing this year with the boys in science, we pass down some curriculum in honor of living on a budget, and we do customize when there is a good reason to do so. Without further ado, here is what we are using this year at the True Light Christian Academy from the top down. Our high school students had a lot of say in the planning of our new year, while Dad and I laid out the plan for the boys.
